Under glass

Inside the glasshouse there wer several zones - arid, humid etc.

It was excellent and as we walked about several huge and colourful butterflies fluttered across the scene and darted between one flower snd the next.

On a day such as this - cold, but sunny the glasshouse was warm and sheltered and a very pleasant place to be.



The arid zone had some interesting specimens - and the cactii showed some astonishing geometric patterns.



In the humid zone it was like wandering through part of a rain forest (without the rain, the wild animals, or the creepy-crawlies). In general it was the foliage that caught the eye... but here and there there were some eye-catching specimens.
